INTRODUCING DON HURST

Don and I have known one another for over fifty years.  We attended the same high school and shared many interests...among them, British sports cars.  And you know what happens when you become afflicted with British sports cars.  At any rate, shortly after I was awarded the contract to restore Tim's Big Healey, I asked Don to work with me for the duration of the restoration.  

The project began late December of 2011 and was completed at 8 pm November 2, 2012, the night before the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance.  Don was faithful to the project and his knowledge of British sports cars was appreciated on a daily basis.
Rotisserie restorations involve many jobs that are somewhat less than exciting and Don was involved in most of them.  His willingness to accomplish the necessary was greatly appreciated.




His knowledge of automotive mechanics and manufacturing processes made him a natural for this project.















Due to a family emergency, Don could not attend the final photo shoot.  But his fingerprints are all over this beautiful Healey.  Thanks Don for your expertise and dedication.
